DETAINED BY POLICE IN HELSINKI FINLAND

Today didn't go entirely as expected! Being detained by police here in Helsinki Finland is the LAST thing I thought would happen on our final day here in the city! We started our morning visiting the Rock Church, only to find out it wasn't quite yet open to the public, so we headed off to Cafe Regatta! this charming cafe is situated right on the water front just outside of downtown Helsinki. We ordered up some cinnamon buns, blueberry pie, hot chocolate, and their famous sausages with mustard! The best part is cooking the sausages over their outdoor fire. Oddly enough, it was here that Daniel was detained by police! We passed by Amos Rex, a popular art exhibit on our way back to the apartment. Helsinki has been a great city to explore and enjoy. Next stop...LAPLAND!

I love that you are in a country with snow. Your mom is a pure joy. When she gets home she needs to have her own channel. She could hire Ryler to edit it for her once a week. There is so much she could share with all of us that love her. She has raised a wonderful family and creates joy wherever she goes. Folks help Dan and Chelle get to 100,000 subscriber.

8:08 I think very few Finns would think of calling a sausage without a bun a "hot dog", and hot dogs with a bun aren't particularly popular in Finland, so that's probably the source of their confusion. Also I'm guessing that what you call "spicy mustard" is just one of the most regular types of mustard for the locals, so perhaps they didn't think of it as spicy.

[@Ladrosify]

Exactly what I was going to say. Your hotdog is our sausage and spicy mustard is just regurlar to us. Most of us eat these several times in a summer, especially at cottage or hiking, but also at home if you have a grill. But because it is so everyday thing to us, it is not easy to find from cafes or restaurants, Regatta could really be the only few places, I dont know any other.

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

Sausage is sausage. Wiener is wiener. Wiener inside a bread bun is a hot dog. Why would anyone call sausage a hot dog is a mystery.

[@leopartanen8752]

@@XtreeM_FaiL Yup, and also regular Finnish "mild mustard" as "spicy mustard", because there are also strong, spicy and very spicy versions of the mustard. 😎

[@HaecceitasQuidditas]

Regarding the drone incident, I don't know if this is a factor, but Finnish officials have an increased level of interest in anything involving drones due to the recent events in Ukraine and the possibility that Russia could be doing something shady in other countries as well.

[@ashleydavis3318]

I just checked the map, and I think the "restricted area" you were flying next to would be the residence of the prime minister (Kesäranta) and the president (Mäntyniemi), which are both located a few hundred meters away across the water from where you stood. Pretty bad luck.

[@perkelix]

The no drone zone starts just north of Regatta along the shore leading to Kesäranta. There are signs at the start of the zone, but someone launching their drone from Regatta would not have seen them yet.

I would get confused too if someone asked about hot dogs and spicy mustard. Those are (for us) just regular cheap sausages and regular mustard, just tastes so good when its cold outside and maybe you get one at an event or you make your own at a campfire, or at home in wood oven/stove/fireplace.

[@Lartsa00]

Exactly. If you say the word ’hot dog’ to a finn, they will think long, thin & straight sausage inside a bread bun 😅 No wonder they couldn’t find it! Same word, different meaning

[@mrSattori]

@giveaway146 Shut up

[@Donna-qt1ot]

I swear that Chelle and Jolene can make fun happen everywhere they land!!! Life must be so joyful!!!

[@MarkusKiili]

We don’t call it hotdog. Hotdog for a Finn is a narrow sausage inside a bread. That’s why it took so long for you to find. It’s also kind of outdoor or cabin food, not city food. When we go a hiking trip for a day, we take sausages whit us and grill it on open fire.

[@MarkusKiili]

I understood you are coming to Northern Finland. Here you most probably will get sausages. You can also go to the grocery store and choose from dozens of different sausages. All over Finland, outdoor trails have been built, along which there are places to make fires where you can roast your own sausages. I travel a lot on those routes myself. Mostly by bike these days. When traveling alone, I rarely have sausage with me, but with family or friends we almost always roast those. I don't know where you are going in the north, but if you come here to Ylläki, you should rent an electric bike here and go riding on the snowy trails. Today I'm going again myself and I'll probably make a video too.

[@JamieMarieKY]

I just love Jolene! She has the spirit of a child! She seems like such a fun and positive person to be around! You and her have such a wonderful relationship! I have a great one with my Mom too and it's priceless, you both will remember this trip forever! I can't wait to see where you guys go next. I bet you hit 100,000 really soon!

The problem was you asked for a hot dog with spicy mustard. If you asked for a sausage and mustard they would have immediately known. Because that mustard is the standard Finnish mustard and we do not use the word hot dog other for sausages. In Finland the hot dog means the whole American style shebang with the bun, mustard, ketchup and dried onion.

[@Antsapantsa]

The reason people didn't realize what "hot dog with spicy mustard" means is we simply call it "sausage with mustard"

[@annetakkinen2674]

I'm so glad that you had a good Time here in Helsinki. I hope Lapland melts your heart and you Have a good Time there too. Enjoy your Time here in Finland 🥰🇫🇮

[@KimForsberg]

Security is a bit stricter than ever now when it comes to drones in the nordics due to several cases of drones flying near or in restricted areas, with some verified cases involving Russian agents, or suspected Russian agents. There should be available maps of restricted areas when it comes to photography beyond no-fly zones for other cases.

About the drone: there are few "no drone zones" in Helsinki and when you were at the Regatta, you were actually just barely inside of one of them. That's why the police came. Luckily police in Finland is very nice 🙂 I'm not sure why that area is no drone zone but I'm guessing it has something to do with one of Presidents official recidences being close by.

We don't call them hot dogs in finland. It's a sausage and the mildest mustard we have is "spicy" in comparison of the yellow mustard. No wonder the locals had any idea what you were after :D

[@helenakoivisto4459]

Just niin. Nuotiolla kärtsätty makkara ja sinappi. A campfire-fried sausage with mustard is definitely the food your father meant. And it really is a big treat for Finns. I myself eat it whenever I find it.

[@marjar.5978]

If you ask a Finn about hot dogs, we think you are talking about the bun and sausage combo. What you ate at the Regatta, we call a sausage. And the spicy mustard is… just mustard 😄

[@binneystreet]

They are sensitive about drones because of the Russian incidents in Norway etc. people are on alert of drones flown near any infrastructure right now. So perhaps someone reported to the police. Apparently this is happening a lot there.

Happy that you enjoyed Helsinki despite the weather… Next time you should come in the summer when the sun never sets. I bet that the drone troubles were due to the proximity to the prime minister’s summer residence.

[@wiltzu81]

I think that you were too close to prime minister’s official residence ”Kesäranta” which is nearby, about 600 metres from Cafe Regatta and facing to Rajasaari island. Or if you went further to Mäntyniemi, then you were close to President’s official residence.

[@sannapitkaranta292]

The drone issue was propably because that the presidents and prime ministers residents are quite close. You should come back in June to see the opposite living conditions ("too much" light).

[@leopartanen8752]

The term hot dog means only wieners (nakki) with buns, no one calls any wieners (nakki) nor sausages (makkara) as hot dogs in Finland. Also American style of yellow mustard is served with the hot dogs, not the Finnish spicy one. No wonder about the confusion about it. 😅 Ps. The regular mustard in Finland is called "mild mustard" (mieto sinappi) and it's spicier compared to mustard from other countries. There are also spicier version called "strong mustard" (väkevä sinappi) and even spicier version called "spicy mustard" (tulinen sinappi) and even spicier called "really spicy mustard" (tosi tulinen sinappi). 😇

You never have to be afraid of Finnish cops. They're usually fun and casual, really professional and won't use force. If you made a mistake that you can correct (like flying the drone over a military/infrastructure area when we're getting reports of intelligence operations all over the country with our neighbor waging a war) they'll just tell you and it's fine.

[@tobesfb]

So two things; If you say hotdog in Finland most people would associate that with eating a hotdog (with a bun). Second, whatever mustard you had had just looked like a standard mustard. If you tell a Finnish person you are looking for "spicy" mustard they would think you are looking for something with chili, jalapeño or something like that. We don't do the yellow sweet mustard, at all (although you can definitely find it in "american" shelves in the supermarkets)
